TEXTBOOK
New Directions in Genocide Research
edited by Adam Jones, University of British Columbia
Okanagan, Canada
Genocide studies is a relatively new field of comparative
inquiry, but recent years have seen an increasing range of
themes and subject-matter being addressed. This edited
book seeks to capture the range of new approaches,
theories and case studies, unfolding in three sections:
• evaluation of broad theories of comparative genocide,
including a number of different perspectives
• critical discussion of core themes of genocide studies,
unfolding a range of challenging new directions, including
the forcible transfer of children as a genocidal strategy, cultural genocide, the art
and architecture of genocide, gender and genocide and structural violence
• focused case studies, seeking to place cases of genocide in broader comparative
perspective. Cases analyzed include genocide in North America, the Nazi Holocaust,
the Rwandan genocide of 1994, and the Indonesian genocide of 1965-66.
The combination of cutting-edge scholarship and innovative approaches to familiar
subjects makes this essential reading for all students and scholars in the field of
genocide studies.
